About This Event
Live event at Jazz at Lincoln Center
About Caribbean Crossroads
“Caribbean Crossroads” at Jazz at Lincoln Center frames jazz as a meeting point for Caribbean rhythm, New York bandstand tradition, and orchestral precision. Bassist Carlos Henriquez and drummer Obed Calvaire lead the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in a set that draws on Afro-Caribbean patterns and modern big-band writing, with saxophonist Godwin Louis among the featured voices. There is no specific NYC premiere history publicly established for this edition, but its significance is local: it documents how Caribbean musicians have shaped the city’s jazz language. One clear point emerges. The groove is treated as structure, not decoration.
